Named after its town of origin, Leyden is one of the three most important cheeses of Holland. This flavorful cheese long ago inspired the saying, "Once a Dutchman eats a piece of Leyden, he is spoiled for any other cheese." Leyden's firm composition and texture and the addition of cumin seeds (which are responsible for its tangy flavor and spicy aroma) distinguish it from all other Dutch cheeses.

This is my fave cheese and impossible to buy locally. Thanks for continuing to make it available.

SAVOR THE FLAVOR

One of the best-tasting cheeses on the planet. (Picture the caraway in rye bread with a creamy mild rich cheese.)

Lyden pound cut

I received the cheese in great time. However I am disappointed with the quality of the cheese. It does not appear to be as good as before. I probably will not be ordering again.

Leyden not the same

I was so disappointed in my delivery of Leyden cheese this year. It is from another supplier. The previous years the cheese was dry,full bodied and in a red casing. This Leyden is soft and very little flavor in a yellow casing.it has igourmet label with Holland, but is not the same. Change the picture so we know what we are purchasing.

Leyden

This Leyden is not aged. It has a nice taste but mild. I hope in the future you get some aged Leyden.

Delicious Leyden cheese

I've purchased Leyden cheese online from a few websites but igourmet is the best by far. The cheese is always fresh, the price is right and it's delivered in a timely fashion. Highly recommend. If you're wondering Leyden cheese is hard to find and is delicious.

The Best Ever Cheese

I was worried it would be too creamy, not aged enough,but it was perfect! My husband went nuts for it, I gave my son and daughter-in-law a pound of it. She started to cut it with a knife and I said Stop! You must use a cheese slicer for the thinnest possible slice-taste the difference! My son was ecstatic, he has loved this cheese since he was a baby. Now my two grandchildren, aged 4 and 1 1/2 are enjoying a family breakfast tradition, although my husband and son will gobble up those thin pieces anytime of the day or night. I can see I'll have to be ordering more very soon! P.S. the packaging was superb, nice and cold.

Great Flavor

Love this cheese for holidays. Shipping was fast, and the cheese arrived cold, with plenty of ice.
